Frequently Asked Questions

Should my resume be one page?

For most professionals with less than 10 years of experience, yes. One-page resumes are preferred because recruiters spend 6-7 seconds on initial screening. Focus on your most relevant and impressive qualifications.

How do I fit everything on one page?

Prioritize relevance: remove outdated skills, trim older positions to 1-2 bullets, use concise language, and eliminate redundant information. Focus on achievements rather than job descriptions. Our builder automatically optimizes spacing.

When is a two-page resume acceptable?

A two-page resume is acceptable for senior professionals with 10+ years of relevant experience, academic CVs, federal resumes, or executive roles. Even then, ensure every item adds value: length alone does not impress recruiters.
